Worries About Authoritarianism and Tragic Death

Some Americans who grew up under dictatorships are worried about authoritarian-like trends in the U.S.

Key concerns include the use of military force against protestors, curtailing rights, singling out minority groups, and limiting access to legal counsel. Why does this matter? These concerns reflect a fear that democratic norms are eroding.

The death of June Bunyan, a UK woman who moved to LA to become a lawyer, underscores the rise in domestic violence.

Jonathan Renteria, Bunyan's husband, has been charged with murder and mutilation of human remains. Why does this matter? This highlights the deadly consequences of domestic abuse and the need for resources and support for victims.
